Have you looked at the man page for snap?  It's very long, so I took
a guess and looked for "run".

Thank you; right at the beginning of the man page it says:

 > The snap command lets you install, configure, refresh and remove snaps

so I didn't think it would be relevant to running a package that was already installed.


run
Run the given snap command


I read that and think: "but I don't want to run a snap command; I want to run an installed snap package".

The run command executes the given snap command with the right confinement
and environment.

Usage: snap [OPTIONS] run [run-OPTIONS] <NAME-OF-SNAP>.<NAME-OF-APP> 
[<SNAP-APP-ARG>...]


When I try the run command:

$ snap run acrordrdc
unknown command: run
$

I was amazed that I simply couldn't find anything about actually running installed packages (plenty of sites tell me how to install a package, but none that I looked at then told me how to run the package once it's installed). It can't be hard, but obviously I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about snap.
